The New New: 15 New York Rappers You Should Know

PerrionBorough: Manhattan (Harlem)Twitter: @PerryEatsNotable song: “Get A Job”Sounds like: Harlem’s reinterpretation of skate rap, decorated with trees and 40s. Sticking to Golden Era spitting guidelines.Why you need to know him: Yes, 22-year-old Perrion’s a proud son of Harlem, USA. But don’t expect an overly flashy kid with Alpo fantasies. He’s an Altamont-rocking skater at heart that’s psyched about chilling at the Berrics, and has no problem partaking in the humble festivities of puffing greens and sipping Heinekens with the homies. To Perry and his HOME Team clique, life’s full of stories to share, boasts to make, and beats to zone out to. Cut from the Golden Era cloth that once draped the New York City airwaves, though Perry Eats seems like a hybrid of multiple subcultures, he’s in fact a byproduct of the city’s current landscape.

stop dickriding Joey Badass. ASAP Rocky has had a bigger impact and is more important that Joey and his crew and its not even debatable

SearchingCurious

Joey Badass is a better rapper. Rocky has just been more successful. People sometimes think that success always mean greatness when that isn’t the case. Its the same way there’s a lot of better street ballers that are better than some of the basketball players that made it.

This bunch of bums are who’s next for the east coast? I fell sorry for yall. And what’s with these kids dikkriding the 90′s when half of them weren’t old enough to remember anything about it? You never saw my generation repping the 80′s, lol wtf. And let’s not get on this fake ass multiculturalism, token white boy in the crew and latina/white chick in the video…the US is so post-racial now, whoo whoo…#swag. GTFOH

staynoided

You’d rather have more aspie trap rappers over 90′s inspired newcomers who can actually spit? If you’re going to act like an elitist backpack rap cunt at least learn proper english. Only a faggot would complain about multiculturalism in hip hop. Lay off the crack pipe.
